This past season we have been intentional about making Sunday mornings enjoyable, fun and exciting for your kids. We have great leaders who care deeply for your sons and daughters and our team is ready to take this ministry to the next level; this means developing deeper and more intentional partnership with you as parents.
7th Grade …
The phase when nothing you do is cool, what they feel right now matters most, and one suddenly social kid wants to know, “Who’s going?”
8th Grade …
The phAse when it’s cool to have choices, it’s not cool to answer questions, and one smart kid will remind you, “Yeah …I know.”
Each phase of a kids life provides specific challenges and opportunities we want to engage together; to meet you and your kids right where you are. We want to make sure we’re asking the most significant questions for kids according to their age and stage, and challenge them to trust Jesus into their futures with all their heart, soul, and strength. We deeply want to help you win at home the rest of the week as well, providing simple and effective parenting cues on a consistent basis.
We will step alongside you as you provoke discovery so your 7th and 8th grade kiddos will own their own faith and value a faith community. As a parent of a 7th or 8th grader, your role is to affirm their personal journey. It’s just a phase … so don’t miss it!
New to Grace Bible Church? We encourage you to fill out our New Familiy Information Form prior to arriving and then visit the New Families Table. We will answer any questions you may have and show you where the drop off locations are!
Do you love Jesus and love kids? We encourage you to fill out our Confidential Volunteer Application to start the conversation! There are many different volunteer opportunities within Family Ministry at Grace Bible Church, from being inside the classroom directly with kids to prepping crafts at home while you watch TV or your child hangs out with their friends!
SUNDAY GATHERINGS
Every Sunday at 11 am we have in-person worship gatherings for our junior high kids (7th and 8th grade). We have partnered with Orange Curriculum in 2022 to encourage our discipleship strategy, helping young people love God and others from birth through graduation.
We will step alongside you as you provoke discovery so your 7th and 8th grade kiddos will own their own faith and value a faith community.
Classrooms open at 10:45 am! When you arrive on campus, check your kids in at one of our check-in locations (or via the Church Center App on your way to church). Our junior high kids meet upstairs (above the gym) in our Junior High Room … please have them enter via the stairs in the courtyard under the string lights.
We have a team of consistent adult and student volunteers each week with the kids. Every one of our volunteers remains current on background checks and has completed a thorough training process.
MID-WEEK PROGRAMMING
We hope to challenge our junior high students to value the Church and love others. We will be hosting a worship service for Junior High and High School students in our main sanctuary with powerful worship, teaching, experience, and time in small groups. Our Mid-Week Program is from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm, and your students are encouraged to invite friends!
